"The 2001 Grands Epenots is on the current price sheet at the domaine, and this is a wine I would make every effort to try and secure for the cellar, as it is a simply stellar example of this great vintage. The bouquet is stunning, as it offers up a very complex and still quite primary mélange of cherries, quince, orange zest, great minerality, coffee and woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and pure, with great soil inflection, a rock solid core, moderate, well-integrated tannins, sound acids and simply stunning length and grip on the complex and very soil-driven finish. This is a classic Gaunoux Grands Epenots in the making, and as the notes below will attest, that is a very exciting development."
